Over the past few years, I have sold some investment bottles. Recently, I was lucky enough to have sold the last of my 3 bottles of Macallan 50 y in Lalique in the Pillar Series. If I never sell another bottle, the investments, for me, have been well worth it.

In May this year, Macalllan released the fifth bottle in the Six Pillars collaboration between Macallan and Lalique. This 62 year old expression of Macallan is encompassed within "The Spiritual Home" Lalique crystal decanter. Apparently, the price is $25,000USD. I continue to follow the pr...

WOW! Have you seen what the Macallan 50 y in Lalique is going for now at TWE? 17,500 GBP (incl VAT) about $27,700 CDN 14,583.33 GBP (ex VAT) about 23,100 CDN Of the bottles in the Lalique lineup to date, I still think the first one is the most beautiful. Tastes great, too. Sorry not to be able to co...

I am a big fan of Bowmore, especially their products from 1964. I think it is wonderful that some of these extremely rare bottles are auctioned for charity. I know that Michael Urquhart at G&M donates some of their bottles to charity, too. Charity...a very honourable choice for an equally honour...

I have to say that I am a little embarrassed not to have tasted many Canadian Whiskies to date, being that I am Canadian. I have tasted two whiskies both from Alberta Distillers Limited (Calgary). I tried their Alberta Premium 100% Rye Whisky 25 year old when it came out. Jim Murray was in Calgary f...

I usually keep an eye on Whiskyfinder.com. They provide prices offered by shops, when the product is available. Past opinions on this site suggest that one should expect to get less in a private sale. As to how to sell, I agree with you that ebay is not the way to go. Contact whisky clubs and tastin...

Hi, I am going on a distillery tour at the end of September. I will probably be in Glasgow September 25 and 26. The tour goes to Orkney. I have wanted to go there for a long time. The weather might have been better in the summer but I love the rain and chill (maybe because I envision myself in a dry...

For my part, I never buy for collecting what I am not expecting to enjoy if opened. So far, very few disappointments. If you are not going to sell them (or give them away to the very welcoming and thankful hands of forum members) and you get tired of looking at them for their aesthetic value, then o...

Thanks for responding to the query. I think your price is more than reasonable. A shop owner has one for sale for 17,000 GBP. Apparently, he wants to keep the bottle so that is why the price is so high. If he wants to keep it, then why put it up for sale? He wanted to buy another one but was not wil...

Hi, I am looking for anyone interested in purchasing a bottle of Macallan 50 year in Lalique Crystal. This amazing item was released in February, 2006. It is the first in a series of 6 bottles. There were only 470 bottles available. Twenty were alloted to the UK, 100 to the USA and , I think, about ...

:shock: :shock: :shock: OMG, wolpertinger! That is an extraordinary list. Is Glenmorangie the only one you collect or do you have long lists from other distilleries? Is the 25 year old the new 25 year Anniversary bottle? If it is and you have opened it, how does it taste? I have one but have yet to ...

Hi, I do not want to be nosey...actually, I do want to be nosey and be crass enough to ask if you might tell me how much you received for your bottle of Macallan 50 y Lalique. I would like to sell one of my bottle and am not sure what they are actually being sold for and not just what people are pri...

Just returned from Scotland. I love it over there. Perhaps it would be a nice place to retire. Not sure how to retire as I keep spending money on this wonderful hobby. I brought back: Ardbeg Renaissance (to complete the series) x 2 bottles Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist x 2 bottles Ardbeg Supernova x 3 bot...

I have had fun strolling along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and popping into various whisky shops. I thought the Royal Mile Whisky Shop would be a bit larger but it was fun, all the same. The more rare bottles are displayed along the wall on top shelves rising to the ceiling and are difficult to exam...

I have single malt to drink, to collect, and to invest. There is a wide assortment. My palate can enjoy expensive or very inexpensive selections. In my shy ostentatious manner, I will list the outrageously extravagant purchases, the series, and discontinued whiskies. There are only a couple of them ...
